LAKE ELSINORE: Search continues for man presumed drowned

LAKE ELSINORE ---- Sheriff's deputies continued to search the
lake Tuesday for the body of a man presumed to have drowned Sunday
when the boat he was aboard capsized, a spokeswoman said.

Cpl. Courtney Donowho said the search resumed Tuesday morning
and by late afternoon had failed to reap results. Searchers planned
to be out again Wednesday morning if he wasn't found by nightfall,
she said.

Authorities have stated the victim was a 50-year-old Rancho
Cucamonga man, but his name was being withheld pending the results
of the search, Donowho said.

The man was one of four people, including his wife and two adult
sons, who were fishing on the boat Tuesday when it began taking on
water from swells caused by high winds. When the boat began to
sink, all four began swimming toward the shore and the wife and two
sons reached another boat that had come to the rescue, a release
from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department stated.

The father, however, went underwater before he could reach the
boat and did not resurface, the release said.
